In neurons, dynamic microtubules play regulatory roles in neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity. While stable microtubules contain detyrosinated tubulin, dynamic microtubules are composed of tyrosinated tubulin, suggesting that the tubulin tyrosination/detyrosination (Tyr/deTyr) cycle modulates microtubule dynamics and synaptic function. In the Tyr/deTyr cycle, the C-terminal tyrosine of -tubulin is re-added by tubulin-tyrosine-ligase (TTL). Here we show that TTL+/- mice exhibit decreased tyrosinated microtubules, synaptic plasticity and memory deficits, and that reduced TTL expression is a feature of sporadic and familial Alzheimers disease (AD), with human APPV717I neurons having less dynamic microtubules. We find that spines visited by dynamic microtubules are more resistant to Amyloid{beta}1-42 and that TTL, by promoting microtubule entry into spines, prevents A{beta}1-42-induced spine pruning. Our results demonstrate that the Tyr/deTyr cycle regulates synaptic plasticity, is protective against spine injury, and that tubulin re-tyrosination is lost in AD, providing evidence that a defective Tyr/deTyr cycle may contribute to neurodegeneration.
